Request Details
My name is Candy and I am a 49 year old trans woman in my second year of HRT, working hard to embrace my true self. An essential part of my transition journey is achieving permanent facial & bodily hair removal, which plays a crucial role in alleviating my gender dysphoria. it's an important step towards feeling more comfortable in my body.
As I'm currently out of work, although seeking stable employment (which the facial hair isn't helping with) I am currently unable to cover the cost of this treatment, including necessary travel expenses as there are few local providers and I am unable to drive for medical reasons.
Any contributions toward this goal would be deeply appreciated and truly life-changing, helping me take another step toward achieving self confidence and comfort in my own body
Thank you for your support and kindness in helping me on this journey.
